Thanks Angelique. I couldn't quite make it all out either.
I think you might be able to calculate the horizontal velocity at the top (and bottom) of the wave before it starts to break, as a function of...
I like the idea of a coat of wax before winter storage. Maybe you could do the same now after removing the mildew as much as you can and drying...
well said
See page 118-120 of this old Forest and Stream......
The poem is from 1870, if that helps... [The Heathen Chinee] Which I wish to remark, And my language is plain, That for ways that are dark...
The Virtue 30 is another good example. Great boat in a storm, if you don't mind things caving in here and there, but the old fellow here with one,...
I've been thinking it might be fun to build something small like Paradox, and use it like a half scale model. Would a 12 foot boat in a 12 foot...
Has there been CFD analysis on extreme wind and wave conditions, like a folkboat or much smaller micro-cruiser designed to be able to go to...
You could try a tarp over the boat, pitched like a tent, just off the boat, and store the boat right side up, with two bulbs inside the cockpit...
Since it is going to be a strict one-builder one-design I would think they could make some changes to get the type of function and look they want....
Nice looking boat. I am surprised by the moisture as I thought you would have a very cold dry winter there. Can you store it on it's side up...
Theoretically, if it was for racing, you could strip it out down below, lengthen the cockpit, and turn the cabin into more of a cuddy. Also lower...
Beautiful boat. What is the reason you want to lower the cabin? Is it for performance? I am not a fan of boats with too much freeboard or full...
So is this the current layout? http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=5907 [IMG]
Jalmberg. I saw your blog. I wish you well. I hope to do a Jest challenge myself someday. I like your cutter. I too have been following folks like...
What about a sailboat designed to be able to load, carry, and offload a single shipping container? That would be a fun design project.
Nice looking boat. Interesting material.
very exciting. Will follow closely. If there is a sudden polar reversal while you are enroute and you end up in the Bay of Fundy, look me up.
I think the British call it a sail. Not sure.
